Don't worry about the type of grease, but check the bearings for play often, and re-pack regularly with anything.
I agree with you completely 3Rensho. I was just trying to send the OCD types over to oildrop so we can talk about something that does make a difference, like different kinds of BEER
FWIW, I ruined a italian NR BB by riding it loose. Replacing that's gonna be a real PITA. In 35 years of cycling (many 10s of thousands of miles) its the only quality (campy) bearing I've ever ruined. Most of them I packed with white lithium grease from the auto parts store, sometimes Phil. The BB I killed was packed with Phil but I rode it a long time with too much play and now its dead. sniff.
